Anti-Myelin-Associated Glycoprotein Neuropathy: Recent Developments.
Neurol Clin Pract
February 2025
Background: The purpose of this review is to give an update on myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) neuropathy.
Recent Findings: There are several recent developments in anti-MAG neuropathy, with the major one being the retrospective analysis of 50 clinical trials that showed that at least a 50% reduction in anti-MAG levels is associated with a therapeutic response. Other updates address antibody levels needed for a positive test, response, and exacerbations to therapy and the type of antibody more associated with malignancy.
Background And Objectives: In 2016, a randomized controlled trial demonstrated the clinical efficacy of trans-sternal thymectomy for patients with non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG). Whether large-scale changes occurred in clinical practice after this trial is unknown.
Methods: We performed a retrospective longitudinal cross-sectional analysis using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2012 to 2019.
Article Synopsis
- Qalsody (tofersen), an intrathecal therapy for ALS, received FDA accelerated approval on April 25, 2023, requiring academic centers to plan for quick drug delivery.
- The model predicted our center would see 6 symptomatic and 14 presymptomatic ALS patients post-approval, but a hypothetical sporadic ALS therapy could increase that number to 108 patients.
- With the introduction of new neurological therapies, it's crucial for healthcare providers to prepare for a rise in patient visits and the complexities of administering these treatments effectively.
Background: Sports-related concussion commonly affects the visual pathways. Current sideline protocols test cognition and balance but do not include assessments of visual performance. We investigated how adding a vision-based test of rapid number naming could increase our ability to identify concussed athletes on the sideline at youth and collegiate levels.
